Item 12 Board authorisation to acquire own shares

The board of directors has authorisation from the general meeting to acquire own shares which also includes acquisition of charge by agreement in own shares. The board of directors proposes that the authorisation is renewed.

The Company's board of directors believes it to be expedient to have an authorisation to acquire own shares, including to enter into agreements on charges in own shares. The board of directors proposes that the general meeting grants such authorisation on the terms set out below.

The authorisation would give the board of directors the opportunity to take advantage of the financial instruments and mechanisms provided by the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act. Buy-back of the Company's shares, with subsequent cancellation, may be an important aid for optimising the Company's capital structure. In addition, such authorisation will also enable the Company, following any acquisition of own shares, to use own shares as part of incentive schemes, and in full or in part, as consideration with regards to acquisition of businesses.

The board of directors' proposal entails that the general meeting gives the board of directors an authorisation to acquire shares in the Company, with a total nominal value corresponding to 10% of the Company's share capital. Shares acquired by the Company can be used in a later reduction of the share capital with the general meeting's approval, remuneration to the members of the board, for incentive schemes or as consideration with regards to acquisition of businesses.

Thus, the board of directors proposes that the general meeting makes the following resolution:

"In accordance with the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act sections 9-4 and 9-5, the board of directors is authorised to acquire the Company's own shares, on the following conditions:

  1. The Company may, in one or more rounds, acquire shares with a total nominal value of up to NOK 1,356,041. The authorisation also includes acquisition of charge by agreement in own shares.
  2. The highest and lowest purchase price payable for shares acquired pursuant to the authorisation shall be maximum NOK 250 and minimum NOK 0.50 respectively. The board of directors is incidentally free to decide on the means to be used to acquire and dispose of own shares.
  3. This authorisation is valid until the annual general meeting in 2027, however no later than 30 June 2027.
  4. Shares acquired pursuant to this authorisation shall either be deleted in connection with a later reduction of the registered share capital, be applied as remuneration to the members of the board, for incentive schemes or as consideration shares with regards to acquisition of businesses.
  5. The authorisation replaces any other authorisation to the board of directors to acquire own shares in the Company from registration in the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises."

Item 13 Board authorisation to increase the share capital

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting resolves to grant authorisations to implement share capital increases in the Company. The authorisations are proposed for two purposes.


PHOTOCURE

The first authorisation is proposed in order to allow the board of directors to, if required, secure financing for the further development of the Company and/or carry out acquisitions by issuing shares as consideration. The board of directors have proposed a structure for the proposal with alternatives corresponding to 25%, 20%, 15% and 10% of the share capital, in items 13.1 through 13.4. The proposals below the 25% authorisation will only be resolved if the preceding authorisation does not get the required majority to be passed. Shareholders casting votes by proxy with instructions of advance votes shall vote on all authorisations.

If a shareholder is in favour of a 25%, 20% or 15% authorisation, it shall also cast its votes in favour of the lower authorisations.

The second authorisation is proposed for the Company's incentive schemed as set out in item 13.5.

Item 13.1 Authorisation to share capital increase with up to 25% of the share capital

It is proposed that the size of the board of directors' authorisation shall correspond to 25% of the Company's share capital.

Thus, the board of directors proposes that the general meeting makes the following resolutions:

  1. "Pursuant to Section 10-14 of the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act, the board of directors is hereby authorised to execute one or more share capital increases by issuing in total up to 6,780,205 shares with a nominal value of NOK 0.50. The total amount by which the share capital may be increased is NOK 3,390,102.5.
  2. The authorisation may be used to issue shares in order to secure the financing of the Company's development. The authorisation can also be used in connection with acquisitions, mergers and other business purposes that serve the Company's development. Shares may be issued against cash deposit or against other assets (contribution in kind).
  3. The board of directors is authorised to decide upon the subscription terms, including subscription price, date of payment and the right to sell shares to others in relation to an increase of share capital.
  4. This authorisation is valid until the annual general meeting in 2027, however at the latest until 30 June 2027.
  5. Existing shareholders' pre-emptive right to subscribe for shares according to Section 10-4 of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act may be set aside.
  6. The authorisation includes decision on merger according to Section 13-5 of the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act.
  7. The general meeting authorises the board of directors to amend the Company's articles of association concerning the share capital and number of shares when the authorisation is used.

Item 13.2 Authorisation to share capital increase with up to 20% of the share capital

If the proposal in item 13.1 above does not get the required majority to be passed, the board of directors proposes that it is given an authorisation to increase the share capital with up to 20% on the same terms and with the same purposes as stated in item 13.1. The proposal will be identical with proposal in item 13.1, except that item 1 shall read as follows:

"Pursuant to Section 10-14 of the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act, the board of directors is hereby authorised to execute one or more share capital increases by issuing in total up to 5,424,164 shares with a nominal value of NOK 0.50. The total amount by which the share capital may be increased is NOK 2,712,082."

PHOTOCURE

The general meeting will only vote on the alternative included in this item 13.2 if the proposal in item 13.1 does not get the required majority. Shareholders who cast advanced votes or issue a proxy with voting instructions must vote on all proposals in the applicable form enclosed to this notice.

Item 13.3 Authorisation to share capital increase with up to 15% of the share capital

If the proposals in items 13.1 and 13.2 above do not get the required majority to be passed, the board of directors proposes that it is given an authorisation to increase the share capital with up to 15% on the same terms and with the same purposes as stated in item 13.1. The proposal will be identical with proposal in item 13.1, except that item 1 shall read as follows:

If the proposals in items 13.1, 13.2 and 13.3 above do not get the required majority to be passed, the board of directors proposes that it is given an authorisation to increase the share capital with up to 10% on the same terms and with the same purposes as stated in item 13.1.

The general meeting will only vote on the alternative included in this item 13.4 if the proposals in items 13.1, 13.2 and 13.3 do not get the required majority. Shareholders who cast advanced votes or issue a proxy with voting instructions must vote on all proposals in the applicable form enclosed to this notice.

Item 13.5 Authorisation to share capital increase according to the Company's incentive program

The Company has established incentive schemes that imply that shares shall be delivered to the participants. The board of directors has a need for an authorisation to issue shares under the incentive schemes. The incentive schemes are described in the Company's annual reports.

The board of directors proposes that the general meeting issues an authorisation to the specified purpose that implies an access to issue up to 1,100,000 new shares in the Company.

The purpose of the authorisation indicates that the pre-emptive rights for existing shareholders to subscribe for new shares may be set aside if the authorisation is used.

Thus, the board of directors proposes that the general meeting makes the following resolutions:

  1. "Pursuant to Section 10-14 of the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act, the board of directors is hereby authorised to execute one or more share capital increases by issuing in total up to 1,100,000 shares with a nominal value of NOK 0.50. The total amount by which the share capital may be increased is NOK 550,000."

  2. The board of directors is authorised to increase the Company's share capital through issuing shares to employees and members of the board of directors. The authorisation may also be used to issue shares in connection with the exercising of options/subscription rights allocated under the Company's incentive program.

  4. The general meeting authorises the board of directors to amend the Company's articles of association concerning the share capital and number of shares when the authorisation is used."

Item 14 Board authorisation to increase the share capital

The Company made a strategic investment of USD 3 million in Vesica Health, Inc. ("Vesica") in the first quarter of 2026, and has entered into a purchase and sale agreement (the "PSA") for the acquisition of all outstanding equity securities of Vesica that it does not already own.

Part of the purchase price under the PSA was payable at closing, and the remainder is contingent consideration subject to the achievement of two milestones, as further described under item 14.1 and 14.2 below. The contingent consideration may be settled by way of issuing new shares and set off against a seller's credit granted for the outstanding purchase price (the "Seller's Credit").

The board of directors therefore proposes that the general meeting grants the authorisations set out under item 14.1 and 14.2 below, in order to provide the board of directors with the authorisation to fulfil the Company's obligations pursuant to the PSA.

The authorisations proposed may solely be used for the purpose of satisfying the Company's obligations under the PSA. As there is no certainty for when the contingent share consideration becomes payable, the authorisations are proposed to have a duration of two years. Further information on the acquisition of Vesica and the milestone payments is set out in the Company's stock exchange on 4 June 2026.

Item 14.1 Authorisation to share capital increase according to Milestone 1

The consideration shares will be issued and set off against the Seller's Credit. In order to enable the board of directors to settle Milestone 1, the board of directors proposes that the general meeting grants the board an authorisation to increase the share capital by making the following resolution:

  1. "Pursuant to Section 10-14 of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act, the board of directors is hereby authorised to execute one or more share capital increases by issuing in total up to 373,817 shares with a nominal value of NOK 0.50. The total amount by which the share capital may be increased is NOK 186,908.5.
  2. The authorisation may only be used to issue shares in connection with the settlement of Milestone 1.
  3. This authorisation is valid for a period of two years from the date of this authorisation.
  4. Existing shareholders' pre-emptive right to subscribe for shares according to Section 10-4 of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act may be set aside.
  5. The authorisation does not include decision on merger according to Section 13-5 of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act.
  6. The authorisation includes increase of share capital with contribution in kind or right to incur special obligations upon the Company, ref. Section 10-2 of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act.
  7. The general meeting authorises the board of directors to amend the Company's articles of association concerning the share capital and number of shares when the authorisation is used."

Milestone 2 may be extended to 31 December 2029 under certain conditions set out in the PSA.

The consideration shares will be issued and set off against the Seller's Credit. In order to enable the board of directors to settle Milestone 2, the board of directors proposes that the general meeting grants the board an authorisation to increase the share capital by making the following resolution:

  1. "Pursuant to Section 10-14 of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act, the board of directors is hereby authorised to execute one or more share capital increases by issuing in total up to 747,654 shares with a nominal value of NOK 0.50. The total amount by which the share capital may be increased is NOK 373,827.
